We're talking about how to get what you want at work – from a salary increase to more paid holidays, better working conditions, a senior title or just THE RESPECT YOU DESERVE! In news that will shock precisely no one, Beatrice has more insights to share than Rosemary, although Rosemary can remember several instances where she did NOT do a good job of negotiating in the workplace. Exciting stuff.

Things we discuss include:

• The Irish civil service – people talk a lot about civil servants' adherence to their scheduled hours as if that makes them slackers but really, haven't they got the right idea?!
• What is your motivation? Are you incentivised by money? Workplace culture? Personal fulfilment? All of the above? Let us know!
• George Clooney talked to the New York Times about using one aspect of his work to fund another
• Rosemary referred to the Irish small businesses using Instagram to share and support anti-Covid vaccination views, conspiracy theories and more. Is it so bad to vote with your wallet?
• Are you guilty of writing emails 'like a girl'? Read this Telegraph article and get rid of that lady language
